My understanding is that PEP 517 will be the default buitin way for building Python project, and pyproject-build-system is an implementation of such PEP 517. Somehow, the adoption of PEP 517 by Python projects will imply more Guix packages using pyproject-build-system. In addition, one (and tangential) longer term for building Python packages using Guix is rely on one build-system, namely pyproject-build-system. Hence maybe this unclear situation. Cheers, simon
